Sask K of C Charitable Foundation Expands Support for St. Therese College Students

The Sask K of C Charitable Foundation is pleased to announce a significant enhancement to its bursary program for students attending St. Therese College in Bruno, Saskatchewan. Marvin and Pat DeSchryver are contributing these bursaries from their Endowment Fund.

Beginning with this academic year, the Foundation will increase its support from one $1,000 bursary to three $1,000 bursaries annually for eligible St. Therese College students.

This expansion reflects the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to Catholic post-secondary education and to helping students achieve their educational goals while growing in faith, leadership, and service.

For many years, the Foundation has provided bursaries to students attending Catholic colleges and Saskatchewan Polytechnic campuses across the province. With this change, St. Therese College will now receive the same level of support as other Catholic colleges served by the Foundation.

Eligible applicants must be a member of the Knights of Columbus, or the spouse, child, or grandchild of a member (or deceased member) in good standing. Applications continue to be submitted through the institution’s established bursary process.

By increasing the number of bursaries available, the Foundation hopes to provide greater financial assistance to students pursuing academic excellence while living out Catholic values in Saskatchewan.

Student Stories: Inspiring Journeys at Saskatchewan Polytechnic

Behind every bursary is a story—one of perseverance, passion, and purpose. At Saskatchewan Polytechnic, these stories remind us why investing in education matters. This year’s Sask K of C Charitable Foundation Bursary recipients embody resilience and ambition, turning challenges into stepping stones toward brighter futures. From caring for others in their most vulnerable moments to protecting our natural world, these students are shaping careers that will make a lasting impact on their communities.

Morgan Haviland – Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Regina Campus)
Morgan’s path to nursing reflects resilience and purpose. After overcoming early challenges as a young mother, she pursued massage therapy before enrolling in the SCBScN program. Nursing aligns with her values of compassion and advocacy, and she aspires to become a Nurse Practitioner, possibly in a prison setting or working in oncology. Morgan is deeply grateful for the bursary, which eases financial stress and supports her dream of advancing in healthcare.

Aiden Young – Integrated Resource Management (Prince Albert Campus)
Aiden’s love for nature and wildlife inspired him to pursue a career in resource management. His goal is to advocate for sustainable environmental practices while working in the natural resources field. Brusaries allow him to focus on studies without financial strain. Aiden credits his grandfather for nurturing his passion for the outdoors and looks forward to making a positive impact on the environment.

Sharon Sebastian – Civil Engineering Technologies (Moose Jaw Campus)
Sharon came to Saskatchewan Polytechnic with a clear goal: to become an engineer. His passion for learning and determination drive him forward in the Civil Engineering Technologies program. Receiving a bursary has eased his financial burden and strengthened his motivation to excel academically and achieve his professional aspirations.

Hunter Labbie – Pharmacy Technician (Saskatoon Campus)
Hunter combines academic excellence with community spirit. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Pharmacology, he enrolled in the Pharmacy Technician program to gain practical skills and serve his community. His long-term goal is to become a pharmacist. Hunter appreciates the donor support that allows him to focus on studies and reduce financial stress, fueling his ambition to advance in healthcare.

The Power of Support: Building Futures Together

These stories are more than personal achievements—they’re proof of what happens when generosity meets determination. Each bursary has helped transform financial challenges into opportunities, allowing students to focus on their studies and pursue careers that will make a difference in healthcare, engineering, environmental stewardship, and beyond.

To our donors: your support doesn’t just fund education—it fuels dreams, strengthens communities, and inspires the next generation of leaders. Thank you for believing in these students and for being a vital part of their journey.
